Up Next: Iowa State

The 'Cats took care of business in their Big 12 home-opener against Texas Tech to move to 2-0 in conference play. Kansas State shifts its focus to an Iowa State team in desperate need of win as the Cyclones have dropped their first two conference tilts of 2022. In this installment of Up Next, Jeff Burkhart (@jeff_burkhart) caught up Levi Stevenson (@WideRtNattyLt) of the Iowa State SB Nation site to get answers to the following questions:

- How eye-opening was the loss at Kansas?

- Is the Iowa State offense experiencing an identity crisis?

- Is wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson's potential being maximized in this offense?

- Has the offensive line's performance allowed sophomore quarterback Hunter Dekkers to grow?

- How has Will McDonald handled all of the double and triple teams he faces at his DE position?

- What are the early returns on Delaware grad transfer linebacker Colby Reeder?

- What has to happen for Iowa State to get back on the right track at home?
